Abstract: In this paper, we propose a novel analysis approach, called ANALOG, for the design and the development of context-aware applications able to detect context change and to predict context parameter values. Our approach is described by two analysis procedures, (a) an analysis procedure for detection and (b) an analysis procedure for prediction. The proposed analysis procedures aim to offer a support for application designers allowing them to design easily context-aware applications. Each procedure is achieved by a sequence of steps performed by the designers. We describe first our analysis approach presented by the analysis procedures. Then, we give some implementation details of our approach. Afterwards, we show the usefulness of the analysis approach through presenting two execution scenarios related to a smart building case study. Finally, to illustrate the effectiveness of our approach, we present different experiments related to (i) the processing time of the analysis approach and (ii) the CPU and the memory overhead introduced by our approach.
